(2023·安徽阜阳·二模) It happens in summer, lasts about 2 to 10 minutes and has small balls of ice that fall like rain. What could it be? It is hail(冰雹), also called hailstones or hailstorms.
Hailstorms often visit the US. The area like Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming would experience seven to nine hail days every year. The place with the most hail in the world is Kenya. It hails about 130 out of 365 days a year.
It's hard to tell exactly(准确地) when a hailstorm might come. They can cause lots of damage(破坏) to people, buildings, cars, plants and animals. In fact, hailstorms can even cause deaths. So we should know how to stay safe during them.
The best way to protect yourself from a hailstorm is to be prepared. We all should have our tools(工具) prepared all year round, and those tools should include helmets(头盔). They can help you save your head from both the hail itself and other things brought by heavy storms. Make sure you stay inside until the hail stops and stay away from windows. If possible, find a room at least one level down from the top of the house. If you get caught outside in a hailstorm, try your best to run into a house. If you can't find a house to stay in, find something to protect your head. Remember to stay out of low land areas, because they could be filled with water. Avoid trees because they are also dangerous.
